Cigar recommendations

I am trying to broaden my horizons and was hoping to get some recommendations. Right now I am really into the Caldwell eastern standards, Oliva V, my fathers, Arturo Fuente, Aging Room, Don Pepin. I am looking for medium to medium-full flavored cigars that have nice flavor changes, and tastes. Kinda vague, but I am new to this whole forum thing. Thanks.

    Is that an actual cigar, I tried googling it and couldn't find it?

    You have good tastes... have you tried Padron yet? If you like Pepin and Nicaraguan tobacco, you gotta try a Padron 1964 maduro. The regular, cheaper, lines are great too. I prefer the maduros. As far as complexity goes, a longer, skinnier smoke will transition more than a shorter, larger rg cigar.

    I just tried a black label trading company cigar too (royalty) and it was very good. Those are mostly med to full Nicaraguan smokes. Another new favorite is the La Palina El Diario lines... kbII is my favorite. They are the stronger La Palina's.

    I love the Oliva V's. Have you tried the corona, no. 4, or lancero?

    I thought that's what that was, as for the Padron I love the 1926, the 1964's were good but I enjoyed the 26's a bit more. I've had a few of the Pepin's as well and liked some more than others, although none of them stand out to me at the moment.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Yeah, the 1926 are a step up. Can't beat those or the AF anejo's. If you're into high end, Davidoff is great. Expensive, yeah...very good? Oh yes. A little more mild though.

    Anejo's are amazing I had one this afternoon and burned my finger just to keep smoking it a little longer. Davidoff''s are always a solid smoke as well. Have you had an AF Unnamed yet, super solid smoke as well.

    I had a Romeo Anejo tonight; it was great. That was followed up by a Brickhouse robusto - they're usually pretty good, but this one had a tight draw that kind of ruined it. Lastly was an AJ Fernandez New World, and they don't transition much, but are very solid sticks for the price.

    As stated Black Label Trading Company will fit you bill as well as LFD, Tatuaje, LP #9, LP T52, Undercrown, EPC Dark Rituals, many MOWs and A. Flores Serie Privada to name a few. Welcome by the way.

    Sounds like you have good taste Expendable. 2nd the MOW suggestion, San Lotano's or anything AJ for that matter. Have you tried the 5-Vegas line yet, reasonable price great cigars? The AAA they have is an AJ product, the Classic is med/bold, doesn't change much but has a great tobacco flavor. Cask is bold but much better after a year or two. Pick up a sampler or can usually find them on the daily deals a lot, free shipping man.

    Try a Intemperance. Nice solid stick that is reasonably priced.

    Never had the unnamed. I didn't know about those. Cool! I wish it he latest wasn't a 60rg though. I don't smoke a lot of fuente's. I got a box of hemmingways for a bachelor's gift almost 3 years ago (I have 1 cigar left) and recently a box of anejo 50's. And that's it! Although, I've enjoyed every Fuente I've had.

    if you dont mind milder cigars try Avo.
    but since you say you like the fuller side of things, check out camacho, and room 101.

    That T52 was a great stick, but it had my head swimming by the end of it. Still have to try a tat, I've heard great things.

    Hey Expendable, I had to troll you, such is my nature. Nish is sort of a standing joke here! Honestly though, welcome to this great place for knowledge and friends. You sound like you already have a leg up on most newbs (a friend who knows what's up - Eulogy) and a decent palate.

    For your tastes, I highly recommend a few smokes: Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real maduro, Camacho triple maduro, La Aurora maduro preferido, La Due

    I actually got my brother eulogy to start smoking cigars and pick up a humidor. He just beat me to the forum.
